Caution

• Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach

the screws securely to a beam. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or

improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

1 Connect the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the

color tube to #.

2 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker.

See the illustrations below.

3 Fasten the screws to the wall, then hang the speaker on the wall.
